             Summary: Controller does not send the complete list of partitions to a newly started broker
                 Key: KAFKA-831
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-831
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: controller
    Affects Versions: 0.8
            Reporter: Neha Narkhede
            Assignee: Neha Narkhede
            Priority: Blocker


On a new broker startup, the controller is supposed to send the entire list of partitions that the new broker is supposed to host in one leader and isr request. In this request, it specifies if the new broker is the leader or follower for each of those partitions. For most of the partitions, the new broker will be a follower. However, for some partitions that don't have any other broker alive, the new broker will be the leader. The bug is that the controller first elects the leaders for offline partitons to see if the new broker is the leader for any of those and sends only those partitions for which leader was elected in the first leader and isr request. Right after that, it does send a leader and isr request with all partitions, but that breaks the guarantee that the very first leader and isr request has all partitions. As a result of this bug, the high watermark checkpointing logic behaves incorrectly.
